Q: kind of title says it all, I was driving down from Oban and saw a fair few down apartments on the shores of Loch lomand, some no / roofs were damaged, others were fire damaged shells.
now are probably just a fantacy but im looking at getting a first home and frankly as a field engineer I can work anywhere thats totaly ridiculous. It seems that you should be able to get to these places and to build a nice big house with a priceless view as long as you dont mind a bit of a commute 40-55 minutes to say how much this glasgow.
anyone apparently know the wrecks abandond tendency to go down and just a case of converting them or do you need to re-apply for planning perrmission oh and any other daft things I probably havent thought of.
i grant you im still a youngish single guy so would probably need to buy a bolt hole in town so i can still go out on the lash but ive just seen on grand designs tonight a plot go for 35k, im pretty sure i could get somewhere pretty habitable for another 50k.
it started as a bit if idle fantacy but im seriously tempted now, i guess it really depends on the value people put on these wrecks and wherther the sums stack up. just wish there was more info on what these type of places go for.
I'd be bored. Even you lot couldn't keep me that occupied!

i doubt they are listed but may be in a protected area, as long as i can put a turf roof an heat pump in them i would be happy, it might sound like a hippy thing but they are very sound engineering principles behind them.
If they have been empty for years and years then you may have to. You have to take each one on face value, work out who owns it and what the council have it's 'use' as. Empty long enough and it won't even be classified; if the house is severely damaged and it's in conservation or green belt land then obtaining is PP is likely and it will be more difficult to obtain.
